Jewish Conference in Warsaw Calls Bonn Legislation ‘inadequate’

April 22, 1965
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

Jewish delegates from Israel, the Soviet Union, Poland, France and Holland today issued a Joint appeal here to the Jews all over the world “to continue the struggle for the discovery and arrest of Nazi criminals.” The appeal was issued following a conference of representatives of Jewish groups from a number of countries who participated in the commemoration this week here of the 22nd anniversary of the Jewish uprising against the Nazi army in the Warsaw Ghetto.

The conference sternly condemned West Germany for restricting the prosecution of Nazi war criminals to a cut-off date now fixed as the end of 1969, calling the Bonn action “inadequate and niggardly.”
